But there returnability is more volatile than diversified equity mutual funds. The present study is based on analyzing the performance of some selected Indian sector fund schemes in terms of risk and return. In this paper Compound Annualized return, Standard Deviation, Beta, Alpha and R-Squared are determined for last five year period.
